critical_enter() and critical_exit() are now solely a mechanism for
deferring kernel preemptions. They no longer have any affect on
interrupts. This means that standalone critical sections are now very
cheap as they are simply unlocked integer increments and decrements for the
common case.
Spin mutexes now use a separate KPI implemented in MD code: spinlock_enter()
and spinlock_exit(). This KPI is responsible for providing whatever MD
guarantees are needed to ensure that a thread holding a spin lock won't
be preempted by any other code that will try to lock the same lock. For
now all archs continue to block interrupts in a "spinlock section" as they
did formerly in all critical sections. Note that I've also taken this
opportunity to push a few things into MD code rather than MI. For example,
critical_fork_exit() no longer exists. Instead, MD code ensures that new
threads have the correct state when they are created. Also, we no longer
try to fixup the idlethreads for APs in MI code. Instead, each arch sets
the initial curthread and adjusts the state of the idle thread it borrows
in order to perform the initial context switch.
This change is largely a big NOP, but the cleaner separation it provides
will allow for more efficient alternative locking schemes in other parts
of the kernel (bare critical sections rather than per-CPU spin mutexes
for per-CPU data for example).

when we create a PDO, the driver_object associated with it is that
of the parent driver, not the driver we're trying to attach. For
example, if we attach a PCI device, the PDO we pass to the NdisAddDevice()
function should contain a pointer to fake_pci_driver, not to the NDIS
driver itself. For PCI or PCMCIA devices this doesn't matter because
the child never needs to talk to the parent bus driver, but for USB,
the child needs to be able to send IRPs to the parent USB bus driver, and
for that to work the parent USB bus driver has to be hung off the PDO.
This involves modifying windrv_lookup() so that we can search for
bus drivers by name, if necessary. Our fake bus drivers attach themselves
as "PCI Bus," "PCCARD Bus" and "USB Bus," so we can search for them
using those names.
The individual attachment stubs now create and attach PDOs to the
parent bus drivers instead of hanging them off the NDIS driver's
object, and in if_ndis.c, we now search for the correct driver
object depending on the bus type, and use that to find the correct PDO.
With this fix, I can get my sample USB ethernet driver to deliver
an IRP to my fake parent USB bus driver's dispatch routines.
- Add stub modules for USB support: subr_usbd.c, usbd_var.h and
if_ndis_usb.c. The subr_usbd.c module is hooked up the build
but currently doesn't do very much. It provides the stub USB
parent driver object and a dispatch routine for
IRM_MJ_INTERNAL_DEVICE_CONTROL. The only exported function at
the moment is USBD_GetUSBDIVersion(). The if_ndis_usb.c stub
compiles, but is not hooked up to the build yet. I'm putting
these here so I can keep them under source code control as I
flesh them out.
and wd80x3 support. Make the obscure ISA cards optional, and add
those options to NOTES on i386 (note: the ifdef around the whole code
is for module building). Tweak pc98 ed support to include wd80x3 too.
Add goo for alpha too.
The affected cards are the 3Com 3C503, HP LAN+ and SIC (whatever that
is). I couldn't find any of these for sale on ebay, so they are
untested. If you have one of these cards, and send it to me, I'll
ensure that you have no future problems with it...
Minor cleanups as well by using functions rather than cut and paste
code for some probing operations (where the function call overhead is
lost in the noise).
Remove use of kvtop, since they aren't required anymore. This driver
needs to get its memory mapped act together, however, and use bus
space. It doesn't right now.
This reduces the size of if_ed.ko from about 51k to 33k on my laptop.
Windows DRIVER_OBJECT and DEVICE_OBJECT mechanism so that we can
simulate driver stacking.
In Windows, each loaded driver image is attached to a DRIVER_OBJECT
structure. Windows uses the registry to match up a given vendor/device
ID combination with a corresponding DRIVER_OBJECT. When a driver image
is first loaded, its DriverEntry() routine is invoked, which sets up
the AddDevice() function pointer in the DRIVER_OBJECT and creates
a dispatch table (based on IRP major codes). When a Windows bus driver
detects a new device, it creates a Physical Device Object (PDO) for
it. This is a DEVICE_OBJECT structure, with semantics analagous to
that of a device_t in FreeBSD. The Windows PNP manager will invoke
the driver's AddDevice() function and pass it pointers to the DRIVER_OBJECT
and the PDO.
The AddDevice() function then creates a new DRIVER_OBJECT structure of
its own. This is known as the Functional Device Object (FDO) and
corresponds roughly to a private softc instance. The driver uses
IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to add this device object to the
driver stack for this PDO. Subsequent drivers (called filter drivers
in Windows-speak) can be loaded which add themselves to the stack.
When someone issues an IRP to a device, it travel along the stack
passing through several possible filter drivers until it reaches
the functional driver (which actually knows how to talk to the hardware)
at which point it will be completed. This is how Windows achieves
driver layering.
Project Evil now simulates most of this. if_ndis now has a modevent
handler which will use MOD_LOAD and MOD_UNLOAD events to drive the
creation and destruction of DRIVER_OBJECTs. (The load event also
does the relocation/dynalinking of the image.) We don't have a registry,
so the DRIVER_OBJECTS are stored in a linked list for now. Eventually,
the list entry will contain the vendor/device ID list extracted from
the .INF file. When ndis_probe() is called and detectes a supported
device, it will create a PDO for the device instance and attach it
to the DRIVER_OBJECT just as in Windows. ndis_attach() will then call
our NdisAddDevice() handler to create the FDO. The NDIS miniport block
is now a device extension hung off the FDO, just as it is in Windows.
The miniport characteristics table is now an extension hung off the
DRIVER_OBJECT as well (the characteristics are the same for all devices
handled by a given driver, so they don't need to be per-instance.)
We also do an IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to put the FDO on the
stack for the PDO. There are a couple of fake bus drivers created
for the PCI and pccard buses. Eventually, there will be one for USB,
which will actually accept USB IRP.s
Things should still work just as before, only now we do things in
the proper order and maintain the correct framework to support passing
IRPs between drivers.
Various changes:
- corrected the comments about IRQL handling in subr_hal.c to more
accurately reflect reality
- update ndiscvt to make the drv_data symbol in ndis_driver_data.h a
global so that if_ndis_pci.o and/or if_ndis_pccard.o can see it.
- Obtain the softc pointer from the miniport block by referencing
the PDO rather than a private pointer of our own (nmb_ifp is no
longer used)
- implement IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack(), IoDetachDevice(),
IoGetAttachedDevice(), IoAllocateDriverObjectExtension(),
IoGetDriverObjectExtension(), IoCreateDevice(), IoDeleteDevice(),
IoAllocateIrp(), IoReuseIrp(), IoMakeAssociatedIrp(), IoFreeIrp(),
IoInitializeIrp()
- fix a few mistakes in the driver_object and device_object definitions
- add a new module, kern_windrv.c, to handle the driver registration
and relocation/dynalinkign duties (which don't really belong in
kern_ndis.c).
- made ndis_block and ndis_chars in the ndis_softc stucture pointers
and modified all references to it
- fixed NdisMRegisterMiniport() and NdisInitializeWrapper() so they
work correctly with the new driver_object mechanism
- changed ndis_attach() to call NdisAddDevice() instead of ndis_load_driver()
(which is now deprecated)
- used ExAllocatePoolWithTag()/ExFreePool() in lookaside list routines
instead of kludged up alloc/free routines
- added kern_windrv.c to sys/modules/ndis/Makefile and files.i386.

I've tested this my PC-9821RaS40 with moused. I've not tested this on i386
because I have no InPort cards, or similar such things. NEC standardized
on bus mice very early, long before ps/2 mice ports apeared, so all PC-98

other than in i386 machines only as amd64 becomes more popular. These
drivers don't appear to do anything i386 specific, so move them to
dev/acpi_support. Move config lines to files so that those
architectures that don't support kernel modules can build them into

the lead of all the other specialty devices.
logical CPUs on a system to be used as a dedicated watchdog to cause a
drop to the debugger and/or generate an NMI to the boot processor if
the kernel ceases to respond. A sysctl enables the watchdog running
out of the processor's idle thread; a callout is launched to reset a
timer in the watchdog. If the callout fails to reset the timer for ten
seconds, the watchdog will fire. The sysctl allows you to select which
CPU will run the watchdog.
A sample "debug.leak_schedlock" is included, which causes a sysctl to
spin holding sched_lock in order to trigger the watchdog. On my Xeons,
the watchdog is able to detect this failure mode and break into the
debugger, which cannot otherwise be done without an NMI button.
This option does not currently work with sched_ule due to ule's push
notion of scheduling, similar to machdep.hlt_logical_cpus failing to
work with that scheduler.
On face value, this might seem somewhat inefficient, but there are a
lot of dual-processor Xeons with HTT around, so using one as a watchdog
for testing is not as inefficient as one might fear.

area (the MD parts _are_ part of the modules). /dev/mem and /dev/io
are now loadable modules, thus taking us one step further towards
a kernel created entirely out of modules. Of course, there is nothing
preventing the kernel from having these statically compiled.
This should allow us to more easily break out the acpi and 'legacy pc'
front ends as well (so only the bus front end would touch rtc, for
example).
This isn't a great separation, since isa dma routines are still called
from the MI code, but it is a start.
Fixed profiling of trap, syscall and interrupt handlers and some
ordinary functions, essentially by backing out half of rev.1.106 of
i386/exception.s. The handlers must be between certain labels for
the purposes of profiling, and this was broken by scattering them in
separately compiled .s files, especially for ordinary functions that
ended up between the labels. Merge the files by #including them as
before, except with different pathnames and better comments and
organization. Changes to the scattered files are minimal -- just
move the labels to the file that does the #includes.
This also partly fixes profiling of IPIs -- all IPI handlers are now
correctly classified as interrupt handlers, but many are still missing
mcount calls.
vm86bios.s is included as before, but it is now between the labels for
interrupt handlers again, which seems to be wrong since half of it is
for a non-interrupt handler.

register controlled the trigger mode and polarity of EISA interrupts.
However, it appears that most (all?) PCI systems use the ELCR to manage
the trigger mode and polarity of ISA interrupts as well since ISA IRQs used
to route PCI interrupts need to be level triggered with active low
polarity. We check to see if the ELCR exists by sanity checking the value
we get back ensuring that IRQS 0 (8254), 1 (atkbd), 2 (the link from the
slave PIC), and 8 (RTC) are all clear indicating edge trigger and active
high polarity.
This mini-driver will be used by the atpic driver to manage the trigger and
polarity of ISA IRQs. Also, the mptable parsing code will use this mini
driver rather than examining the ELCR directly.
